hi all- is there a softwrae that is used to determine (genomic islands) within the draft assembled bacterial genomes?- thanks all

There are lots of approaches, often based on comparison to several close relatives to find novel genes not in the relatives. If these form clusters they are candidates for horizontally acquired islands - although if in a lone contig you might also suspect contamination. -
thanks- what is the fastest approach to determine unique genes (specially genomic islands) within the assembled draft genomesComment
-
what is the software can tell about genomic islands (no. size, etc) in relation to the reference bacterial genome please?Comment

You'll just need to pick out differences manually. Use a visual genome aligner like Mauve to compare your genome against a reference. You can even get as simple as a straight up dotplot. Large genetic insertions should be blindingly obvious.Comment

Here is a review listing the methods to detect genomic islands http://www.nature.com/nrmicro/journa...micro2350.htmlComment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
